Here\’s to Healthy Choices

Here it is then, a symbol of my complete acceptance of the world of blogging– blogging something really personal. Two things led to this journey: I saw this site mentioned in Oprah’s magazine (which I normally don’t read– killing time in a waiting room this morning) and I am dying for a Coke. I want a Coke so badly. I almost stopped for one on the drive home, but I had my one year old with me who is recovering from his surgery to fill cavities. And now I find myself thinking “if not a Coke then how about some sugary-munchy thing? Or maybe I can grab one this afternoon.” And an argument ensues in my brain: “If you eat healthier, you’ll feel better. You won’t be so spacey. You’ll connect more with kids and husband. You’ll lose weight. You’ll feel better about yourself. Don’t forget to be a good role model for the kids.” But a Coke would taste so good.
